BROWNIE BITES WITH MINT CREAM CHEESE SWIRLS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare mini-muffin pan by lightly spraying with cooking spray.

• 4. FROSTING: Make frosting by beating together the cream cheese, butter, and peppermint extract; gradually add the confectioner's sugar and beat until smooth. Gradually add green food coloring until desired color is achieved.
• 5. Fill pastry bag fitted with desired tip (I used Wilton 1M) with frosting and pipe into the center of each brownie bite. If frosting becomes too soft, refrigerate for awhile.
• 6. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
• 7. SUBSTITUTIONS: Orange extract and red and yellow food coloring, raspberry or strawberry extract and red food coloring, lemon extract and yellow food coloring. Use your imagination or your occasion to dictate how you will serve them.
